Do or Don't: Talking to Strangers on Planes

...I clam up. For some reason, I don't usually talk to strangers on planes. I just wear earplugs, recline my seat and read my book.

But my friend J. met his girlfriend on a plane. "We were sitting next to each other on a flight to Europe," he says, "and she fell asleep on my shoulder. It was pretty cute." Once she woke up, they started talking, and a week later, they were officially an item. (Isn't that adorable?)

What about you guys? Are you talkative on planes, or do you like to keep quiet? Are you scared of flying? (Sometimes talking to people can be a good distraction!)
